Game, set and match.
Indie iconoclasts Tennis are currently midway through their 'Face Down in the Gardens' farewell tour that's sent them to music halls, theaters, rooftops and festivals all over North America.
At each and every show, husband and wife duo Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley run through their deep, atmospheric catalog, delivering well-known tracks like 'Runner' and 'Matrimony' as well as cuts from their recently-released record that shares a name with the tour.
On Sunday, June 1, The New York Post sent fans Alyssa Hargrove and Anissa Boukourizia to the group's gig at NYC's The Rooftop at Pier 17.
'The muted set with the backdrop of the Brooklyn Bridge was perfect,' Hargrove raved. 'It didn't upstage the musicians or their woozy music.'
'Their video work was really well done,' Boukourizia added. 'Hypnotizing, dissolving visuals from the live feed that helped you feel apart of the concert whether you were standing near or far.'
As for the crowd, it truly was an all-ages affair.
'We literally saw a child under one strapped to their father's chest as well as people well into their greying years,' Hargrove pointed out.
Most importantly though, given that this might really be 'match point' for Moore, Riley and Tennis, there was an added emotional weightiness to the evening.
'You could hear a pin drop during the final song,' Hargrove noted. 'Somehow people knew how special the moment was. So rarely do we get to say goodbye to things, people and musicians we love. There was this reverent acknowledgement in the air, and it was really meaningful to be a part of that.'
As of now, Tennis has 15 concerts remaining on their 2025 run with special guests like Billie Marten, Cults, Real Estate and Hovvdy joining them.
If you'd like to see them live, here's everything you need to know about catching Tennis live on their farewell tour in 2025.

Upcoming nWo book brings fresh look at legendary faction through pop culture lens

The nWo, one of the most discussed and well-documented subjects in pro wrestling history, is getting a fresh perspective. Marc Raimondi, the former New York Post writer and current Falcons beat reporter for ESPN, is taking at look at WCW's famed faction through a pop culture lens in his upcoming book 'Say Hello to the Bad Guys: How Professional Wrestling's New World Order Changed America,' which is available for pre-order and in stores June 24. Raimondi, who has been a close friend for more than 20 years, delivers one of the most in-depth, easy-to-follow and well-reported accounts of how nWo worked by reflecting on the cultural shifts during that time in our country's history — feeding off and then feeding into pop culture — and ultimately failed. The book is written almost like it's made for TV, with little cliffhangers here and there. The cover of 'Say Hello to the Bad Guys: How Professional Wrestling's New World Order Changed America.' In the book, he compares Crow Sting's popularity in the context of someone a castout youngster of the '90s could relate to, like Kurt Cobain and Marilyn Manson, as he rebels against the high school bullies of the nWo within the story.

'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson Dubs ‘Flight of a Navigator' as a 'Favorite Movie of All-Time'

Alan Ritchson may play the bruising star of the popular television series Reacher, but one of his favorite movies of all time comes from a very different genre. During a recent video posted on Facebook, Ritchson explained what makes one specific science fiction-based film a go-to for the 42-year-old actor. Although Ritchson has starred in multiple Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles films, Fast X, and is slated to be in Runner and War Machine, the 1986 movie Flight of the Navigator holds a special place in his heart. "I was watching one of my favorite movies of all time last night," Ritchson said. "I wanted to show my kids one of the greats, Flight of the Navigator." Ritchson's comments do go along with the premise of his initial video, as David Freeman (Joey Cramer) is knocked unconscious for eight years. He hasn't aged at all when he wakes up. Shortly after, an alien spaceship comes to Earth, and its maps match David's brainwaves, as Collider detailed. Based on Ritchson's immense knowledge of the film and how he cross-compared it, his comments in a video, which he tagged as "#instachurch" are a fun and unique way to get his feelings and point across. It's become apparent with the Reacher star's social media postings that he's an open book when it comes to discussing God and many other important topics with his children.'Reacher' Star Alan Ritchson Dubs 'Flight of a Navigator' as a 'Favorite Movie of All-Time' first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 6, 2025

Yes announces 2025 ‘Fragile Tour,' two NY shows. Get tickets today

Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. In November 1971, Yes released their fourth studio album 'Fragile' in the U.K. The nine-track record yielded a pair of iconic singles in 'Roundabout' and 'Long Distance Runaround,' obscure gems like 'We Have Heaven' and 'South Side of the Sky' and the prog-rock masterpiece 'Heart of the Sunrise.' Now, 54 short years later, Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Billy Sherwood, Jon Davison and Jay Schellen are taking the timeless collection of songs (and a few other classics) on the road. While out and 'Roundabout,' the Rock Hall of Famers will make four New York and New Jersey stops. First, they'll jam at Morristown, NJ's Mayo Performing Arts Center on Thursday, Oct. 2. After that, the legendary quintet hit Atlantic City's Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Saturday, Oct. 4, Port Chester, NY's Capitol Theatre on Sunday, Oct. 5 and Huntington, NY's Paramount Theatre on Tuesday, Oct. 7. 'All the band's albums had a unique feel and approach,' Howe said via Instagram. 'It's fairly 'odd-ball,' but…it gave us confidence, further than our own in-stock belief, we'd crafted this unusual but noticeable musical twist to rock and what later became prog.' Astute fans may have noticed that a pair of key Yes members aren't part of this tour; that's because both lead singer Jon Anderson and keyboardist Rick Wakeman are conducting solo tours of their own this year. Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Yes shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale for the 'Fragile Tour' is Friday, June 13. Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand. They have a 100% buyer guarantee that states your transaction will be safe and secure and will be delivered before the event. Yes tour schedule 2025 A complete calendar including all tour dates, venues and links to buy tickets can be found below. Jon Anderson 2025 tour As noted above, Anderson is striking out on his own this year. He's playing venues all over the U.S. with his band, who are aptly named The Band Geeks. They'll be in Ocean City on July 7. To find out where else they'll be, click here to see all Jon Anderson 2025 tour dates. Rick Wakeman 2025 tour The 76-year-old keyboardist and composer has shows lined up from July through October including gigs in Ocean City (July 21), Englewood (July 23) and Poughkeepsie (July 30-31). Curious if he's coming to your neck of the woods? Find Rick Wakeman's complete 2025 tour calendar here. 'Fragile' track listing In case you need a refresher, here are the nine tracks that make up the indispensable 40.5-minute record. Side I 01.) 'Roundabout' 02.) 'Cans and Brahms' (instrumental) 03.) 'We Have Heaven' 04.) South Side of the Sky' Side II 01.) 'Five per Cent for Nothing' 02.) 'Long Distance Runaround' 03.) 'The Fish (Schindleria Praematurus)' 04.) 'Mood for a Day' (instrumental) 05.) 'Heart of the Sunrise' Yes band members According to Yes' official tour announcement on Instagram, the band will be made up of Steve Howe (guitars, vocals), Geoff Downes (keyboards), Jon Davison (vocals, acoustic guitar), Billy Sherwood (bass guitar, vocals), and Jay Schellen (drums). Schellen replaces long-time drummer Alan White who passed away in 2022. Roger Dean 'Fragile' was the band's first album designed by Roger Dean. According to the group's Instagram, the iconic artist would go on to 'design many of YES' future album covers, the band's logo, and live stage sets. This striking union of music and design is key in how YES' sound and vision would be perceived; it also underlined how important artistic visuals were becoming in the rock world.' To celebrate his work, the group is slated to shred 'in front of a video wall featuring AI treatment of Dean's art, bringing YES' art into the 2020s.' His timeless work will also be available for purchase at all shows. To keep up with what he's working on these days, you can follow Dean on Instagram here.
